Virtual PBX is the first company in the industry to offer a hosted PBX service aimed at users who already have VoIP phones or want to use a VoIP service for its cost saving features. iVPBX provides unlimited inbound calling and no per-minute fees at a price of just under $10 per seat — about one-fourth to one-fifth the cost of most competing plans. Additionally, Gizmo5 clients who use the iVPBX product can send calls by IP directly to their Gizmo phones at no added cost.

“Virtual PBX is committed to providing innovative and useful products and services that are a cut above the competition and meet the needs of our customers,” said Paul Hammond, president and CEO of Virtual PBX. “We have seen an enthusiastic response to our iVPBX product offering and are honored that Internet Telephony has recognized our innovation with a 2009 Internet Telephone Excellence Award.”
